Other notable offensive players to play under Bobo at CSU: WR Michael Gallup -- Biletnikoff Award finalist and consensus All-American in QB Nick Stevens -- First- Team All-MW in 2017; CSU s second all-time leading passer. RB Dalyn Dawkins -- Second-Team All-MW in 2017, school s third all-time leading rusher. WR Rashard Higgins -- First-Team All-MW in 2015; entering his third season with the Cleveland Browns. All-conference offensive linemen Jake Bennett, Zack Golditch, Trae Moxley and Fred Zerblis. GOING FOR 500 (AND 600) CSU posted 653 yards in its season opener against Hawai i on Aug. 25. It was the most yards that a Rams team has had under fourth-year head coach Mike Bobo and the fifth-most in a single game in program history. It also further illustrated a trend that Bobo has set since taking charge of the program in CSU eclipsed 500 yards of total offense seven times in 2017, and reached 600-plus yards a school-record four times. Under Coach Bobo, the Rams have exceeded 500 yards of total offense 17 times (4 in 2015, 5 in 2016, 7 in 2017, 1 in 2018). PRENTICE THE NATION S HIGHEST-GRADED FULLBACK Redshirt sophomore Adam Prentice was the highest-graded fullback in the FBS in 2017, according to Pro Football Focus. He rated at an 82.5 for the season -- the highest rating of any returning Ram. Prentice is also known for his off-the-field efforts. He is on the 2018 Wuerffel Trophy watch list and is a nominee for the 2018 Allstate Good Works Team. WR U? The Colorado State football team has groomed several incredible talents at the wide receiver position over the last five years. Rashard Higgins, a fifth-round draft selection of the Cleveland Browns in 2016, set multiple program records during his three seasons at CSU. Higgins was a Biletnikoff Award finalist and consensus All-American in 2014 following a season where he totaled 1,750 yards receiving and 17 touchdowns. Michael Gallup earned the same national accolades last season, producing 1,413 yards on a school-record 100 catches. Gallup was a third-round draft choice by the Cowboys this year, and is competing to be a starter in year one. Since 2014, seven different Rams receivers have posted at least one 100- yard receiving outing -- Higgins, Gallup, Joe Hansley, Charles Lovett, Elroy Masters, Jr., Olabisi Johnson and Preston Williams (plus tight end Cameron Butler).

NEW STAFF ADDITIONS FOR 2018 The Rams added six new full-time assistant coaches into the fold before spring ball started, including three new coordinators. The defense will be led by defensive coordinator John Jancek, who brings 10 years of experience as a defensive coordinator at the FBS level, most recently a three-year stint at Tennessee. Four other new assistant coaches join Jancek on that side of the ball, including special teams coordinator and linebackers coach Chase Gibson. Dave Johnson was also added to the staff to be the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. The six new full-time assistant coaches boast over 100 years of combined experience on Division I coaching staffs. GREEN AND GLOBAL - SERVICE AND LEARNING EXPERIENCE IN JAMAICA 12 student-athletes and four staff members traveled to Petersfield, Jamaica from May The athletes experienced cultural immersion, social action and community-based learning. Students were hosted by local families, with 2-4 students per home. Participating football players: Adam Prentice and Barry Wesley. CSU s student-athletes have seen their opportunities expand dramatically in recent years. The most visible expansion of the student-athlete experience has come in the way of investments in nutrition, facilities and academic support to further fulfill the department s mission to Educate, Engage and Excel. The trip was organized by Dr. Albert Bimper, CSU s senior associate athletic director for diversity and inclusion. Bimper was a 2006 CSU graduate and four-year starting center on the football team ( ).

9 9 THIS WEEK IN CSU HISTORY -- LOOKING BACK ON THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 1948 CINDER- ELLA RAMS AND THE RAISIN BOWL TEAM by John Hirn, CSU Athletics Historian Frank Faucett sat in his seat at Canvas Stadium as the 2018 season kicked off against Hawaii on August 25th. At 90 years old, Faucett and his wife of 67 years, Barb, have had season tickets to CSU football for over half a century at the last three stadiums the Rams have called home. He was also a sophomore on the 1948 Colorado A&M Football team playing in the school s first bowl game on January 1, It has been 70 years this week since one of the most celebrated CSU football teams ever assembled took the field for a very memorable season. The 1948 season opener took place at Colorado Field on September 18, 1948 with a brand-new set of lights as the Aggies played the first night game at their storied gridiron against the Colorado College Tigers. Kickoff was at 8 p.m. and the A&M fans packed the stadium on College Avenue excited to see what kind of team coach Bob Davis presented for the season. The Rams took the field that night with such legendary names as Bob Hainlen, Dale Dodrill, Eddie Hanna, Lee Walters, Jack Christiansen, Oliver Woods, Tuffy Mullison, the immortal Fum McGraw and of course halfback, Frank Faucett. The Aggies allowed an early six points in the first half and seemed to struggle until Pat Green scored the Rams first touchdown to tie the game 6-6 in the third. Eddie Hanna put the Aggies ahead with a 44-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter and Pat Green scored another TD in the fourth quarter with Carl Cox scoring another TD late in the game. The season opener against the Tigers ended in a 25-6 route and paved the way for a season that has become legendary to Rams football. The next week at Colorado Field they pounded New Mexico State 41-6 and then went on the road for a grudge match against Utah State that ended in a 9-7 victory for the Aggies thanks to the leg of Bob Hainlen and the running of Eddie Hanna. In the fourth week, A&M traveled to Denver to take on a tough Pioneers team at DU Stadium that saw 24,000 fans packed into every corner of the old stadium. Eddie Twinkletoes Hanna helped save the game late in the third quarter with an 83-yard run that tied the game and gave momentum for a victory over their long-time conference foe. Then came what could be considered the true birth of the Border War in a game played at Corbett Field in Laramie, Wyoming. The Aggies and Cowboys were both undefeated and looking for the conference championship title. With light snow fluttering down and a packed house of both Rams fans and Cowpokes, the game was one that would go down in history as one of the greatest in the long and storied rivalry. With Wyoming up 14-0, quarterback Bob Hainlen guided his team down the frozen Laramie turf for two touchdowns scored by Keith Thompson and Jim Abshire. Late in the fourth quarter with the score tied at 14, Joe Folsom returned a Wyoming punt to the Cowboy 16 yard-line where after a series of plays Keith Thompson ended up in the end zone to put the Aggies ahead Cowboy all-star halfback Eddie Talboon was not done yet and drove Wyoming to pay dirt with 30 seconds left in the game to seemingly lock the score at the end of the day. However, Aggie lineman Dale Dodrill became the greatest hero in green and gold when he blocked the extra point and ended the game in favor of Colorado A&M. It was at that moment when Aggie fans stormed the field and tore down the Wyoming goal posts. Former Colorado Governor Roy Romer, then a student at A&M, wrote in the Collegian, Aggie Fans soared down from windy perches with jubilant cheers. For with a heave, and a ho, the mighty muscular manhood from Colorado toppled this system of elevated plumbing to earth. The Rams would have their first loss against Drake on Homecoming day the next week, bounce back with a shutout over Mines the next week and then a loss to Utah for their only conference defeat of the year finishing second in the Skyline Conference. They would end their season with another exciting rivalry against Colorado in Boulder where the Aggies beat the Buffs in an exciting victory that propelled them to national attention. On Monday November 22, 1948, two days after beating CU in Boulder, the Colorado A&M Aggies were invited to the 1949 Raisin Bowl to play against undefeated Occidental College. It was the first time in school history a team had been invited to a bowl game and after Skyline Conference Coach of the Year Bob Davis asked his players if they wanted to play in a New Year s Day Bowl Game, (Nearly half the team were WWII veterans and married with families) they all agreed to accept the invitation. After a harrowing airplane ride to Fresno, California, the Rams were treated like stars when they arrived in the raisin growing capitol of California. In a way they were movie stars because Universal Pictures filmed parts of the Raisin Bowl action for an upcoming movie called Yes Sir, That s My Baby starring Donald O Connor. #ALLTIMERAMS - FAN VOTE For nine days in June, thousands of Colorado State football fans voted for their #AllTimeRams squad. Players on the ballot played at CSU from No current Rams or players who finished their careers prior to 1968 were included. There was a first team and a second team, based on the results of the fan vote. QB: Bradlee Van Pelt ( ) Moses Moreno ( ) RB: Kapri Bibbs (2013), Cecil Sapp ( ) Steve Bartalo ( ), Kevin McDougal ( ) WR: Michael Gallup ( ), Rashard Higgins ( ) David Anderson ( ), Pete Rebstock ( ), Greg Primus ( ) TE: Joel Dreessen ( ) Keli McGregor ( ) OL: Anthony Cesario ( ), Mike Newell ( ), Erik Pears ( ), Weston Richburg ( ), Ty Sambrailo ( ) Jake Bennett ( ), Mike Brisiel ( ), Kevin Call ( ), Zack Golditch ( ), Morgan Pears ( ) DL: Mike Bell ( ), Clark Haggans ( ), Joey Porter ( ), Brady Smith ( ) Al Baker ( ), Guy Miller ( ), Sean Moran ( ), Adrian Ross ( ) LB: Shaquil Barrett ( ), Rick Crowell ( ), Kevin McLain ( ) Cory James ( ), Nate Kvamme ( ), Eric Pauly ( ) DB: Ray Jackson ( ), Greg Myers ( ), Earlie Thomas ( ), Dexter Wynn ( ) Ron Cortell ( ), John Howell ( , ), Keith King ( ), Erik Olson ( ) K: Jeff Babcock ( ) Steve DeLine ( ) P: Jimmie Kaylor ( ) Hayden Hunt ( ) RET: Dexter Wynn ( ) Dallas Davis ( ) Although the Jan. 1, 1949 Raisin Bowl was a very close loss for the Rams, Eddie Hanna stunned the crowd with two 70-plus yard touchdown runs. Today, 70 years later we can still be proud of these Aggies and their accomplishments on the field in Looking up at the façade at Canvas Stadium we still see the names of #21 Eddie Hanna and #48 Fum McGraw, the only retired numbers for CSU football. Frank Faucett is not the only member of the 1948 team still cheering CSU to victory each week, but he is the only Raisin Bowl alum who has done it at Colorado Field, Hughes Stadium and Canvas Stadium as a season ticket holder for well over 50 years.

One player is chosen after each game to keep the belt the following week. CANVAS STADIUM Canvas Stadium is the new name for Colorado State University's 41,000-capacity multipurpose stadium that opened on the school's Fort Collins campus in The newly re-branded Canvas Credit Union received naming rights to the facility through a $37.7 million partnership agreement announced in April The agreement, which stands as one of the largest collegiate athletic venue naming agreements in history, was part of an ambitious re-branding initiative being undertaken by the previously branded Public Service Credit Union, under the direction of company President and CEO Todd Marksberry. Canvas Credit Union is a not-for-profit, state-chartered, member-owned financial cooperative that has been in business since Today, the credit union has more than $2.3 billion in assets and more than 238,000 members and a mission to help individuals and families make better decisions and grow stronger financially. Learfield s Rams Sports Properties and their Campus+ business brokered the agreement as part of its ongoing support for Colorado State University athletics. The agreement with Canvas Credit Union combined with $20 million given in 2016 to name Sonny Lubick Field brings the total naming rights revenues at Colorado State to $57 million for the stadium. This compares favorably with the recently announced $69 million United Airlines Memorial Coliseum at University of Southern California and the $41 million Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium at the University of Washington. The Colorado State agreement with Canvas Credit Union is for 15 years and includes annual escalator clauses for inflation, as well as a signing bonus, in recognition of the visibility and success of the stadium. The $220 million, 727,000-square-foot stadium proved immensely popular and attractive to fans in its inaugural season of 2017, and drew rave reviews from local and national media, as well national television networks that broadcast Colorado State s games to large audiences. The Rams set an alltime attendance record with a total of 192,369 fans and a per-game average of 32,062, representing a 16-percent attendance increase from 2016 eighth-highest in all of college football. Season ticket sales also reached an all-time high of 15,477, a 40-percent increase from the 2016 total of 11,054. The return of CSU football games to campus from Hughes Stadium in 2017 brought the pageantry and celebration of Rams game days back to the heart of the university for the first time in 50 years, providing countless new engagement opportunities for the entire university. The stadium s design embraces Colorado s natural beauty, topography and visual connections to the Rocky Mountains from campus and ensures functionality for both gameday and non-game day usage.
